The forecasted change in the weather begins today with increasing clouds and showers developing overnight into Sunday around the local area. Sunday will see the bulk of the showers and we even throw in a chance of a thundershower Sunday and Monday. Rainfall amounts look to be at least a quarter of an inch, but under a thunderstorm heavier amounts are likely.
This cool, showery pattern will linger into Tuesday before the cold trough of low pressure moves eastward. Higher pressure builds in weakly and pushes the high temperatures Thursday and Friday near 80 degrees. Monday’s high temperature will struggle to reach 60 degrees as things look at present. The record lowest high for that date is 59 degrees set in 1975. Maybe a new record?
As I mentioned here the other day, snow showers will fall in the higher Cascades so when skies clear midweek, our local peaks will sport a new mantle of white. Quite refreshing for mid-June, I would say.
Looking back on June 16, 2014, while writing my column I made this note. “Confessions-I turned my heat on this afternoon and my lights too as a dark cloud hovered over my house in Salmon Creek. My rain gauge had a message displayed that said it was raining cats and dogs. As of 6 p.m. we had three quarters of an inch of rain in the gauge. Wet? Yes.”
